Did you miss me as much as I missed you?
Good morning, Austin! I’m back from a family vacation, Griswold-style. Are the Michael Jackson tributes over yet?
I watched surprisingly little TV on a trip filled with visits to relatives; outings to zoos; midwestern delicacies such as Polish sausage, deep dish pizza and sliders; and lots and lots of driving. Oh, my father in law tried to goad me into political argument by leaving Fox News Channel on 24 hours a day, but I maintained a zen-like calm and understanding.
While I was gone, Sci-Fi became Syfy (colleagues here are pronouncing it “siffy” — hee!); “Entourage” returned to HBO; Troy Kimmel announced his return to weeknights at KEYE; Ryan Seacrest inked a 3-year, $45 million hosting deal; and Jon Gosselin got a new girlfriend — the daughter of his wife’s tummy-tuck surgeon. Swoon.
Whew.
Let me clear out the 821 messages in my e-mail inbox, change the “out-of-office” message on my phone; sift through the promo DVDs that stacked up while I was out and catch up on the rest of the happenings in TV Town.
Thanks for your great response to (and near universal agreement with) my top ten TV gripes. In case I haven’t heard yours, I’ll be back for a live chat right here at noon today. Stop by and vent. I’m a good listener.
